Patient's question:
Our baby is 40 days old. Because he ate spicy food the night before yesterday, we didn't breastfeed him yesterday. In the morning, he ate a stored breast milk, but vomited right after eating. After more than an hour, I gave him a bottle of formula, 70 milliliters, but he vomited it all out within an hour. Then, after vomiting, he slept from 9:40 AM until almost 3:00 PM in the afternoon. I gave him breast milk again. During the night, he only cooed and only ate 30 milliliters himself. What could be the reason? His spirits are still good. During this period, he had two bowel movements, both with a bit of green and smelling a bit foul. The last time he had a bowel movement was at 7:00 PM yesterday, and he hasn't had a bowel movement or urine since then.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to explain for you. According to your description, it should be that you have changed the baby's eating habits, secondly, the baby has a bit of diarrhea, and the stool smells foul, indicating obvious indigestion or abdominal cold. I suggest applying cold compresses to the baby's abdomen in these days, while breastfeeding requires avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Whether feeding with formula or breastfeeding, it's important to eat less and more frequently, and never overfeed in one sitting.
